London Studio Centre — Images Ballet Company 2017 Tour

Lilian Baylis Studio

Rosebery Avenue, London, EC1R

With new music, beautiful costumes and brimming with vitality Images Ballet Company presents four richly contrasting works by a company of talented dancers and musicians. This is classic ballet with a contemporary aesthetic.

Making her very first work for a ballet company, irreverent choreographer Liz Aggiss delves into ballet stories to find death and disaster. Ballet Ireland’s Morgann Runacre-Temple presents imaginatively surreal articulations of the female body. Dances from the prologue of Sleeping Beauty come alive with a new score by Tom Armstrong, after Tchaikovsky. Matthew Hart explores love and loss deftly woven into Malcolm Arnold’s vibrant Concerto for Two Pianos (Three Hands). Together it is an evening of high quality entertainment and thought-provoking artistry.
